LedgersCFO

LedgersCFO is a specialized finance, accounting, tax, and compliance firm built for startups and small businesses operating between the United States and India. We work primarily with Delaware C-corps that have India-based engineering or operations teams, guiding them through every stage from incorporation to scale - seed through Series C. Unlike generalist accounting firms, our team combines US accounting standards knowledge with deep expertise in Indian regulatory frameworks (FEMA, ODI, transfer pricing, GST, and RBI compliance), making us uniquely positioned to serve the growing ecosystem of cross-border, India-founded startups.

We currently support 150+ growing companies, ranging from early-stage startups to companies managing multiple US entities, with services spanning bookkeeping, tax filing, incorporation, and fractional CFO support.

What Sets Us Apart:

Direct, real-time access: Clients are added to a dedicated Slack channel with our team, ensuring fast, responsive support rather than ticket queues or scheduled calls only.

True cross-border expertise: Most accounting firms specialize in either US or India compliance - we do both, under one roof, with a team fluent in both regulatory systems.

Built for founders, not just books: Beyond compliance, we act as an extension of the founding team, offering proactive guidance on fundraising, entity structuring, and financial strategy.

Technology-forward: We're actively building Visibl, a SaaS platform integrating with QuickBooks and Zoho Books to give clients real-time cross-border compliance dashboards and automated filing support.

Industries Served:
Primarily technology and SaaS US startups, though our client base spans agencies, professional services firms, and India-founded companies scaling into the US market.

Client Segments:

1. US + India full-service compliance setup (for companies with entities and operations in both countries)

2. US-only full-service compliance and bookkeeping

3. One-time and recurring US tax filings for foreign-owned entities
